The good news and the bad news


Dear friends,

The forum's beloved co-admin Fani China has decided to leave the forum. The message was issued on the 20th of February and she left her position the very next day. We are all deeply saddened and confused by the situation but all the same we wish her the best of luck. She will be deeply missed not only by myself but by everyone.

In her place I have added out of many appilcants for the new position, Elizabeth Moore and Ellen as the new co-admins. Together we will be taking the forum higher and to the next levels. With a new layout and system on the way it shall be sure to be interesting.

We are currently being interviewed. When the interview is complete and polished over it shall be published.

For more updates stay tuned!

Much love,

Tayla ~ Admin xx

Morning all

Hey all! I would firstly like to say I've been up all night as I couldn't sleep. I've done alot of work on our site and it's very near ready for launch! I'm so excited. Next we'll be making deals to sell CDs, music DVDs and other merch.

We might be going through a few more changes in staff in the next months as some people just aren't committed enough to the forum. Co-admin Liz and myself have been running roit around the web sorting things out with bands and other members. We are expecting Anger In from Venuzulea to join very soon.

The new layout has been taken to very well and to be honest I'm in love with it. The guys did an amazing job. Our community is also growing again. We have 279 members right now, which is really good.

We look to be hiring when the site comes along, we'll be needs interviewers, site managers and reviewers really. They all seem like pretty fun jobs too. Hopefully we get alot of applicants when the jobs come around, that way we can take off like a space rocket.

I'll keep you guys posted on all this over the next few weeks.

Much love,

Tayla - Admin

So I haven't slept much in these past 72 hours. I decided I start work on our website and store once again. After gruelling hours spent challenging templates, CSS codes, colours, charts and other things to baffle the average girls head my darling graphics designer signed on!! Within 30 minutes the layout was fixed and now the site is 98% ready for launch!! I can't wait!

In the past few hours we've had a stream of new members from all over the world, including some old members coming back! The forum is buzzing once again with jubilant excitement. I can't wait for the sites launch!

Liz has been inviting alot of new bands to the forum, and hopefully they will soon arrive! We have alot more work to do on the forum in the next few days as preparation as well as update our affiliates and add some more special friends to our contacts lists.

Watch this space and we'll keep you tuned for any new features and updates!

Busy, busy, busy!

Ah, a little time to sit back and blog!
We've been so busy these past few days! Liz has once again been mailing bands through myspace and I have been spamming all over last.fm and finding new music as well as finalising a few more pages for the forthcoming website, which we give more information about soon!
We've had many bands joining the forum in the past few days, these include: Fenrir, In Virtue, Emerald Mind, Crownless, Stormgarde, Lycanthia, Virus IV, Suhgarim and Akphaezya. Please come visit us and show them your support.
Our portal has been nicely kitted out by Todd, we know have icons which take you directly to our promotional pages on sites such as facebook, myspace, youtube, blogspot, bebo, last.fm etc.

Tomorrow is the Day Of Silence, which is a day that people take a vow of silence to aid GLBT (ga-hey, lesbian, bisexual, transgender). The vow of silence represents the fact that we must act to speak out for those who cannot. I'm in huge support of this and while be taking this vow by not speaking for the whole day. I wonder if anyone else will be joining in and supporting GLBT.

I hope to see you guys around very soon!

Much love,

Tayla - Admin
